The game's graphics and playability is great. No problems installing the game and the learning curve was very mininal even with the finacial portion. Great game for the price.


5 out of 5 stars One of the best constructor games   May 13, 2007

I rate Railroad tycoon definitely one of the very best constructor games - a must-have for every family. It offers a wide learning experience that can be tailored to suit and every facet has enough depth to keep intense involvement going for hours.I had feared that it would soon become history, but the third version is just so great and brings it all into a new life. Thank you MacSoft, a fantastic effort!

The game is entertaining and provides some light hearted fun. You do have to get around the bugs and crashes (about every 2 hours on my powerbook G4). I have only played it 3 times over 2 hours and it seems consistent for this small sample.

I wouldn't waste my money on this junk. It looks likes something I played on an ancient 286--13 years ago! Not to mention that the manual (for the mac version) explains that one must use the right mouse botton to use certain features--but a mac does not have two mouse buttons.

Spend your money on a bottle of Mickey's fine malt liquor & spend a day watching the trains down at the railyard instead.
